Tuesday Tip: Love Notes

Love NotesFashion Trends & Styles - Polyvore

A sweet little bundle tied with a red silk ribbon…that’s what comes to mind when I think “love notes.” The mind goes to the one who penned them & the one they were penned for – I can imagine all sorts of romanticized notions of forlorn lovers & broken hearts mended by a sweet & pure word written down on paper with ink that bleeds into the very heart…or a unique verse written for a someone special that releases the secret feelings to the universe. But, what about writing love notes to someone you’ve never met? That’s today’s tip! Write a love note to your future possible husband. I’m not talking anything crazy (like I wrote about in the last post=), just a simple writing down of your thoughts & prayers for your future mate if God has such a man in store. Now, all you girls may not feel like you’re at the point in your life that you’re ready to do this, but one day…perhaps, maybe. =)

Writing Ideas
Tell your mysterious prince…
-that you’re waiting for him – staying pure for him (& why)
-that you’re praying for him all this time in between
-you can’t wait to know him & all the little things about him
-thank God for the possibility of him
-tell him how you can’t wait to live your life with him
-let him know how you can’t wait for his partnership in serving God

More Ideas
-use (or create) special stationary
-seal it with a kiss (hope that’s not too mushy for some of you=)
-say a prayer over it that you & “he” will stay pure in the waiting & for God’s will & blessings

I wrote my first love note to my future Prince Charming this past Valentine’s Day (the day before I started this blog actually). I sealed it up & have it stored in a special box… it reminds me of the gift of purity, as I will present it to my husband on our wedding day.

Listen to the song Rebecca St. James penned for her future true love…it’s a love note put to music...& it's the theme song for this Purity & Romance event...

Love Always,

  1. My poor future husband has A LOT of letters from me! hehe = )
    But that's just because I love him so...whoever he is and if that's God's plan for my life. =)

    I adore that song, and Rebecca St. James is the one who inspired me to wait and write letters! She was a turning point in my life for sure! I love how God uses certain books or even people as tools on your own life!
